Modern Classics: Words with Power

The voice out of the whirlwind speaking to Job. Jacob’s ladder. The Tower of Babel. The Garden of Eden. Cain and Abel. The Resurrection. The Harrowing of Hell.  Northrop Frye weaves these eternal themes and images through his second study of the Bible and literature. With the authority that comes from both great erudition and knowledge of life, and with his inimitable wit, Frye maps out the complex landscape of the imagination.
